Can you replace the main drain in concert pool?
no you can not
What is the Purpose of a main drain in a swimming pool?
If its not connected through the skimmer I imagine it's there to empty it. hmmm, on the above. The main drain in pools is for circulating the lower part of the pool and is not intended to drain the pool as in a bath tub.
Where does the main drain inside a pool lead too?
The pump
How do you use the bottom drain in an in ground pool?
Well, if you mean to drain the pool --- it is not a drain as in house plumbing -- the sink -- the tub. It is connected to the skimmer and that is connected to the pump. Your main drain is most likely 'working'. It does not nave to be a strong flow. Well, if you mean to drain the pool --- it is not a drain as in house plumbing -- the sink -- the tub.

Should main drain be closed or open when pool is running?
Open
How do you plug the broken main drain of a swimming pool?
Would advise that you get a professional to address the situation first hand. The main drain is intrigal to your circulation.
Does the main drain line in skimmer have water in it when closing the pool?
No. You cannot use the main drain to lower the water level below the skimmer. This is because the main drain is not really a drain. It only connects right back to the 3 port valve in the skimmer.
Why is your pool draining from the main drain?
If you mean you are losing water, it may be a broken or cracked main drain or possibly your hyrdo-static valve is malfunctioning. One other possibility is a break in the pipe going to the main drain.
Do you use the main drain and the skimmer when filtering your pool?
You only use the skimmer/s
How do you unclog the bottom drain of a in ground pool if you can't find the junction of the skimmer and the main drain?
Depends how the pool was plummed. If you have a dedicated main drain line, or you share a main drain line and a skimmer line. Both are suction lines to the pump,meaning they will go into the front of the pump. If you have several valves on the front of the pump, and hopefully they are labeled you could try to shut all of them except the main drain and use what is called a drain king. It hooks to a waterhose and swells inside the pipe forcing water in the opposite direction. If you dont have any valves on the front of the pump ,chances are you share suction with the skimmer. check the inside bottom of the skimmer. Main drain may be plummed to skimmer bottom.
Should you go ahead and drain a pool that has turned brown from well water?
